Track 2

Until in the hands of a skilled reader, tarot is merely 78 plastic-coated pictures. In order to give them depth and explore their overall accepted definitions in a way that is unique and meaningful each time, the reader must go beyond those definitions. One way is by incorporating magickal and spiritual practices. In this segment, Kamille will explore why this is beneficial to both reader and client and demonstrate how to do just that in order to prepare for and give a 30 min reading.

In this presentation we will be exploring our relationship to the cards, and what we do with them. We’ll use the cards to look at the different ways we can experience the deck itself, and we’ll be doing a live reading with someone from the con on that person’s relationship with the tarot, treating the Tarot–and the relationship–as actual people.

Camelot Meets Tarot in this role-playing game, where the Tarot Court Cards become animated in a problem-solving scenario. This process helps one to see the court cards (and many of the Major Arcana cards) as living works of divination. Anyone can take this workshop. You do not have to have a working knowledge of the interpretations of tarot or be a tarot reader. This class is fun for all levels of tarot expertise from novice to professional reader!
